I have a A-2200 ser-1228 on my Kolb Mark III Xtra and I am just having this problem on starting. Where can I find the SB on the ground strap? The one I have on the engine is a small copper strap from the bottom of the block to the motor mount. And Why all of a sudden the problem?? Any ideas? chris ambrose Kolb Mark 3 Xtra / Jabiru A-2200 ser# 1228....106 hrs on it N327CS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=291467#291467 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:21:31 PM PST US Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Re: Starting Problem From: "ronlee" I have a Toyota pickup that will start intermittently when the big copper washer in the solenoid does not contact the incoming and outgoing posts. Even though it sounds like the solenoid engages with a robust click. What happens is the contacts get burned down to a height that the washer can't make contact across them when pulled in by the solenoid. With the solenoid engaged you should have twelve volts coming in and the same going out, if not then there is no connection happening in the solenoid. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=291473#291473 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 03:07:34 PM PST US From: "Pete Krotje" Subject: RE: JabiruEngine-List: Re: Starting Problem A small copper strap probably is not sufficient. You need a ground cable from starter to airframe that is as large as the starter cable itself. #4 welding cable is the norm. The starter service bulletin and all other bulletins can be found on Jabiru's web site www.jabiru.net.au . If your engine has been starting ok in the past but suddenly is not then you problem may be in another area like weak battery, corrosion in the dist caps or rotor, old spark plugs with incorrect gap, out of spec coil to magnet gap, etc. A little detective work goes a long way here.
